Arabs - 20 (religious, expansionistic)
Turks - 20 (religious, militaristic)
I agree, they have truly been a dominate force in history, we shouldn't leave the Arabs out. Certainly have made a longer lasting impression on the world than the Babylonians or Persians.
Magyar/Hungarians - 20 (industrious, militaristic)
Austro-Hungarians - 20 (industrious, commercial)
The Hungarians don't get enough credit in history. The Magyars scoured France, they pilliaged Italy, they invaded Germany. Look in any maps from 1000 AD onward, the Hungarians often had the largest empire in Europe. At its peak Hungary (not Austro-Hungary) was as big as France and England. The rest of Europe better be damn glad Hungary fought off the Turks and stopped their spread. Downside is Hungary lost most of its kingdom to the Turks (my families castle included, grrr.) Hungarians kick major ass throughout history, they revolted and won an equal split ruling the Austrian empire. They were one of the few countries under the Soviet Boot that attempted to revolt. And currently they are one of the fastest growing former Warsaw Pact countries. I could go on, but Hungary kicks ass.
Ethiopian - 20
Mali - 20
Some others in Africa. The Ethiopians deserve incredible respect for being the only country in Africa to survive European Colonialism. Ethiopia has been a sovereign nation for a hell of a long time. Good job.
Poland - 10
Khmer/Angkor - 10
Incas - 10
Texans - 10
Some other honorable mentions. Texas shouldn't have joined the US, they'd have been a cool country.
